Red shrinks back from your aunt as she comes closer to you two.
"Red, relax. Auntie is a nurse. She's not going to hurt you." You say softly. You put a hand gently on his shoulder blade.
"She's right Red. And I'd never hurt someone who's done so much for my beautiful niece." Red sighs and looks away. I take my other hand and put it on top of his. He looks at you shocked. 
"Relax, I'm right here for you." Clover gently starts to treat his wounds better than you ever could. "Red, what happened to you?"
"It was just a little scuffle….." he says. You gently touch one if his hurt ribs. He jumps and blushes. "Eh, sweetheart, shouldn't be doin that…."
"Red." Clover says and he looks at her. "Is someone hurting you? If its someone at your home we can arrange to let you stay here."
"I already said he can always come here if he needs somewhere safe."
"'S nothin. Fell monsters aren't really nice per say…." Clover gives him the go ahead to put his shirt and jacket back on and he does. As he goes to walk out of your room you hug him.
"Stay safe Red…."
You feel him chuckle. "Will do sweetheart. Guess I should go talk to my old man though." You let him go and watch him walk out of the room.
"Your friends really are interesting honey."
"I know. Gaster managed to get the albums finished for me if you want to look through them. I'll pack away the first aid kit." You go and manage to put everything away just as there's a knock on your door. "Come on in." You see Rus come in.
"Red went off in a hurry."
"Yeah, he'll be back later. He has to go talk to his dad."
"That might not be the best idea…. fell monsters tend to get violent when upset." You frown. 
"What do you mean?"
"They have a tendency to hurt people when angry." Something clicks in your mind then and you take out your phone to text Red.
You: hey, you doing okay?
You: come back once you're done there.
You start pacing and after about twenty minutes with no answer you try to call it but it went directly to voicemail without ringing. You run down stairs and hug Dream.
"Eh? (Y-Y/N)? You okay?" You hide your face in his scarf.
"WHAT'S GOING ON?" Papyrus asks.
"I'm not sure." Dream admits. Nightmare comes over and you cling to him instead. Abyss, Jazzy and Comet went to get changes of clothing.
"What's going on?" Nightmare asks and you shake your head. Soon you start to get tired, you've been sleeping a lot today. After a few minutes you manage to fall asleep on the couch. 
You feel the crackle of magic and it draws you out of you sleep. You notice a blanket draped one you and a pillow under your head. You hear soft curses and you open your eyes. You see Red in the hallway, he was the one swearing. You walk over and hug him. "Hey…. I was worried…." you feel him jump then he looks over at you. You see a crack over his left eye socket, it was leaking liquid magic. "Holy shit Red." You drag him to the kitchen and notice a note from your aunt telling you that she'd been called in for an emergency shift.
You sigh and lead him to the table. He sits on one of the chairs and groans. You walk to the stove and open the cupboard above it, you pull down the medical kit and bring it to the table and you turn on the lights. "God damn that hurts…." he groans. 
"Is your eye the only thing that's hurt? I'm not as good as Auntie at this stuff so it might hurt some." He shakes his head and blushes.
"Everywhere else is…. kinda personal….." he closes his eye sockets and you start to clean his wound. He hissed and pulled away but you hold him still by his chin.
"Stay still."
"It fuckin hurts…"
"It'll hurt more if you keep moving." You snap at him.
"(Y/N)? Red? What's going on?" You hear Nightmare ask.
"Reds hurt. I'm trying to patch him up. He wont stay still though." You put some antiseptic on a bandage and stick it to the wound over his eye. Nightmare sits on the other side of you. "Now let me see the others." He shakes his head. "Red, seriously." He still refused. You look to Nightmare for help. He sighs and switches places with you.
"Red, let up help. You're hurt." He says and Red grumbles before slipping off his jacket. You notice the upper part of his sweater is soaked with liquid magic. You gasp slightly and run right beside him. You help him take the turtleneck off and see the cracked and broken ribs. You start to cry then and you put a hand on his shoulder. You lean your head against his skull as Nightmare goes to bandage everything. "Is that everything?"
Red blushes and looked away from you. "Nah….. sweetheart ya might wanna go back ta the others for this one…."
"Why? You're hurt! I can't just leave you." He blushes more and sighs.
"Nightmare, I got the last one myself." He grabs some bandages and limps to the bathroom. You look to Nightmare worried. 
"He's in a lot of pain right now…" Nightmare says.
"I know….." you hug Nightmare. 
"I know you're worried about him." Nightmare says as he rubs your back.
"Of course I am…. I care about him…." you hear the bathroom door open again and you run to Red. You hug him gently. "Hey you." 
"Hey sweetheart…."
"Let's get you to lay down." He chuckles and you help him to the livingroom and take him to the couch. He sits and you go grab a blanket and drape it over his shoulders. You sit next to him and Nightmare watches you from the doorway. Red lays down and rests his head in your lap. He immediately falls asleep. Nightmare comes over and sits on the arm of the couch. "This is pretty messed up…" he says.
"No shit it is…. I wonder who did it to him….."
"Hard to say… I know him and Edge get into fights all the time but that didn't look like his work……" 
You two talk for a while and soon Nightmare falls asleep leaning on you. Your mind was racing so you couldn't sleep. Soon the others wake up. Ink was the first to wake up.
"(Y/N)? What's going on?" He says while looking at you confused. 
"Lots of shit Inky….. lots of shit……" he looks at you concerned then sees Red. His eye sockets widen.
"I'd say. How long has he been like that?"
"Hes been here for a couple hours. Nightmare and I patched him up as well as we could…." the front door opens and your aunt comes home. She looks in and see everything and sighs.
"Well, looks things could have been worse."
"Still pretty bad Auntie…." she nods and goes upstairs as you and Ink talk.
